For the event, Meghan matched a royal blue coat by Smythe with a pleated black skirt by Misha Nonoo and a black top by Tuxe.

Her mother chose a conservative beige ensemble consisting of pants, a top and a scarf.

The cookbook flew to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list in a matter of days after being announced this week, despite not being released yet.

During the event, Meghan served dishes with women from the Hubb while Harry was seen talking and laughing with Ms Ragland who watched on with pride.

Speaking directly to the Hubb’s women, Meghan said she was “privileged” to know them.

“I had just recently moved to London and I felt so immediately embraced by the women of the kitchen,” she said.

“I’m so excited to see the projects you’re going to continue to do in your own community, the community at large and also how you’re going to inspire people globally by sharing your stories and your recipes.

“I’m so proud of you.”

Just this week, Mr Markle claimed he’d received “multiple death threats” from a violent ex-boyfriend of his female friend Lori Davis.

Ms Ragland’s visit has also fuelled speculation that she’s planning to move closer to her daughter in the UK.

The former actress penned the cookbook’s foreword, writing; “I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together.

“Melding cultural identities under a shared roof, it creates a space to feel a sense of normalcy — in its simplest form, the universal need to connect, nurture, and commune through food, through crisis or joy — something we can all relate to.

“Through this charitable endeavour, the proceeds will allow the kitchen to thrive and keep the global spirit of community alive.”
